This Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) LAS dataset is a topographic survey conducted
for a coalition of GIS practitioners, including the Florida Division of Emergency
Management (FDEM), Florida Water Management Districts, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Army Corps of Engineers
Jacksonville District, and other state and federal agencies. The goal for this project
is to use the LiDAR data as new elevation inputs for updated SLOSH data grids. The
ultimate result is the update of the Regional Hurricane Evacuation Studies (RHES)
for the state. The State of Florida Division of Emergency Management LiDAR Survey
was collected under the guidance of a Professional Mapper/Surveyor. This data was
collected for part of Dixie County, Florida from 24 June - 17 August 2007. This is
a classified lidar data set; bare-earth points (class 2), water returns (class 9),
and unclassified data (class 1). The LiDAR data were flown at a density sufficient
to support a maximum final post spacing of 4 feet for unobscured areas.
